Features: The French Republic, once hailed as the "Second Colonial Empire," the proud Germanic Franks, focused their apprehensive and astonished gazes on a slender, yellow-skinned, and dark-haired Chinese woman named Cheng Zifan in three consecutive presidential elections. She was a delicate Chinese woman who dared to stand up against stubborn racial prejudices and, such as former President Chirac, Mitterrand, and others, boldly declaring her candidacy for the presidency. Her announcement was like a thunderclap in a calm field, causing great shock in France. She employed the Chinese Taoist philosophy of "using four pounds to move a thousand pounds" to repeatedly strike at the "Dragon's Court," making her formidable opponents take her seriously and even seek her wisdom at their doorstep, demonstrating the profound depth and mystery of traditional Chinese culture. Although she failed to win the presidency in three attempts, she calmly said: The meaning of life lies not in the outcome but in the process, and value is born when proven.
